Like me motherf~ker you’ve been at it for too long
     D5 – D#5-F5-D5
While you feed off others insecurities 
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds
 D#5-F5-D5
Self righteousness is wearing thin
   D5 – D#5-F5-D5
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
  D#5-F5 – D5
I’ll bleed but not for f e l l o w man
D5

        D5                 D#5-D5
So, how does it feel to know that someone’s kid
   D#5-D5                   D5
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
         D#5-D5
fighting to defend your rights
                    D#5-D5
so you can maintain the lifestyle
       D5                 D#5-D5
that insults his families existence
      D5                D#5-D5                D5
Well, where I come from we   have a special salute
              D#5-D5               D5
waved high in the  air to all those
   D#5-F5-D5
pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers
    D5
(F~ You!)
F5-Chords
Like the heartbeat
                                     D5 – D#5-F5-D5
of this country when antagonized too long
I’ll be damned if you count me
D5 –  D#5-F5-D5
in as part of  your generous hypocrisy
    D5 – D#5-F5-D5
collected and amazed
      D#5 – F5 – D5
Tabloid gossip we want less real
    D5 – D#5-F5-D5
(There’s no need for us to bury you)
                D5 – D#5-F5-D5
Selfish agenda, once again
D5
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)
Back to: Chorus
D#5-D5                D5
All  the way from the east to the west
D#5-D5
We’ve got this high society
        D#5-D5        D5
looking down on their very foundation
D#5-D5            D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions
    D5            D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems
      D5              D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction
      D5     D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
           D5            F5     D5
They never contributed a f~king thing
to the country they love to critize
Gm
Excuse the obscene
  Cm
Ignore the untrue
F
Depictions we see
Bb              Bb/G#
Try and get through
   Gm       –      Cm
And many mistakes can hurt
D7-9                   G
I’m not the last but I sure ain’t the first
Interlude: Cm  F  Bb – Bb/G#  Gm – Cm  A7-9 – A
D#5-D5    D5   D#5-D5   D#5-D5
